Ghana is not ready to legalise the use of motorcycles for commercial purposes, popularly referred to as “okada”, the Minister designate for Transport, Mr Kweku Ofori Asiamah, has said.
He said contrary to reports that his ministry had engaged stakeholders to legalise Okada in the country, what the ministry did was engage in consultations to determine whether to legalise it or not.
He said after the consultations, it had become clear that the country was not ready to legalise the okada trade.
Appearing before Parliament’s Appointments Committee, he said: “I never said that we were leading a stakeholder consultation to legalise Okada. I said we were having consultations to come to a determination whether we are going to legalise it or not, and as the condition pertains today, we will not be able to legalise okada.
Mr Kwasi Ofori Asiamah,Transport Minister- designate,
Transport Minister designate, Kwasi Ofori Asiamah, has firmed up that government would not legalise the use of motorcycles for commercial purposes.
This is because existing traffic regulations and enforcements do not support the commercialisation of motorcycles popularly known as ‘okada’.
“We have an issue of enforcement in this country and based on what is pertaining on the ground today it will be difficult for me to lead the legalisation of okada,” Mr Asiamah told the Appointments Committee of Parliament in Accra on Tuesday.
According to him, motorcycle accidents and accompanying fatalities were on the increase and that legalising the trade would exacerbate the situation.
